1. Ajanta Caves (1): Located in Maharashtra, the Ajanta Caves are world-renowned for their exquisite mural paintings, dating mainly from the 2nd century BCE to the 5th century CE. These paintings, depicting Jataka tales and scenes from Buddha's life, are considered masterpieces of Indian art and are a primary example of ancient Indian mural paintings. This place is known for mural paintings. 2. Lepakshi Temple (2): Located in Andhra Pradesh, the Veerabhadra Temple at Lepakshi, built during the Vijayanagara period (16th century), is famous for its extensive and well-preserved mural paintings on the ceilings, depicting scenes from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas, as well as depictions of contemporary life. This place is known for mural paintings. 3. Sanchi Stupa (3): Located in Madhya Pradesh, the Great Stupa at Sanchi is primarily famous for its architecture (the stupa itself) and its elaborately carved gateways (toranas) depicting scenes from the life of the Buddha and Jataka tales. While traces of ancient plaster and colour suggest some paintings might have existed, Sanchi is not primarily known for mural paintings in the way Ajanta and Lepakshi are. Its fame rests on its sculptural and architectural aspects. 4. Therefore, both Ajanta Caves and Lepakshi Temple are known for mural paintings.
